And I will second this a few times over.

There is more tripping involved with doing a 3.x -> 4.0 source 
upgrade.  Seems to be an endless discussion about upgrading from source and 
AFAICR is much more toublesome than the 2.x - 3.0 with aout -> elf.  Can't 
see it for a production environment.  Rather swap a disk or server.  Less 
pain, problems, and much easier to keep downtime at a minimum in the event 
something doesn't work out right.
